About us
Stanford Libraries publish exhibit catalogs, bibliographies, scholarly books, essays and poetry, keepsakes, and miscellanea that explore and celebrate the Libraries’ extensive holdings.
With over twelve million physical items and many more in digital form, the Libraries’ collections span from cuneiform tablets to photographic collections documenting the Civil Rights Movement to contemporary artist books. We work with donors, staff, and faculty to publish works for the Stanford community, fellow libraries, and researchers and the public around the globe.
We do not accept unsolicited manuscripts for publication.
